Cut + Run New York
Cut + Run has opened a new sustainable edit facility at 599 Broadway in NYC in a building we first admired back in 1985 . . . 51% studios’ radiant interior for the award winning editors of An Inconvenient Truth mixes natural light with reclaimed materials to create an inviting and earth friendly editing experience.
Recycle and reduce: The facility embraces green building strategies, paying special attention to promoting the use of natural light. A family of seven suites is crafted from recycled, lightweight and translucent materials with a monolithic resin floor to reflect and amplify the natural light. No dry wall and little glass is used, and suites made from formaldehyde-free, post-industrial recycled wood fibreboard are soundproofed with recycled jeans.
Suite interiors are individually decorated and furnished, with one wall left predominantly raw and finished in a natural soy based clear sealant. Split battens enable the constant technical upgrade and maintenance whilst keeping cables discreet. Computer aided construction by Showman Fabricators allowed a rapid fit out on site, and produced beautifully clean interiors.
The combination of translucent polycarbonate walls, top lit with dimmable low energy diodes and a mocha coloured resin floor give the overall effect of a calm radiance. Five offline suites, a graphics suite and a new HD finishing suite are the creative heart of the space. All rooms have been the latest versions of Avid and Final Cut and are SD/HD compatible.
